Let's see how tough you are.
I'll admit I'm an old softie.
Let's see if you can watch this without tears coming to your eyes.
I've got a 92 year old vet for a father, and a son who is preparing to go on his 3rd deployment, so I've got an excuse.

IGGY, Thanks for sharing that,very moving video. It's too bad the country has pretty much forgotten the sacrifices of the few for the rights of the many, as well as the value and beliefs that this country was fought for in the first place. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family for the service and sacrifices of the men and women who put it all on the line for this country everyday, now and in the past.
Respectfully,
SM1357

It's difficult now-a-days to be impressed by an individual's accomplishment or dedication. This video reminded me that people... Americans... like this are a rare thing today. God bless them and God bless those of you who live a life for others.

If that don't get to you then you ain't American.
Prayers for your son Iggy, and many thanks to all who have ever walked the fields of battle.
